Some desperate scalpers on ebay are already trying to sell the 512GB version for 1000€. Despite the fact that you can still order one for half the price and receive it within 6-10 days.
I could be wrong, but I would bet that launderers are probably not targeting this niche device. I’d guess that the people buying them are more likely from a country that they don’t sell in. Like Australia for example.

Yep, the extra sad thing is that there are actually sold listings too: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=steam+deck+OLED&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1
Some people just can’t be helped, I guess.
it could be drugs or money laundering rather than people actually paying that price for a real deck.

That’s not how laundering works, but it probably isn’t laundering. The product is the excuse, the price difference is where the laundering happens.
Yeah, I get how laundering works. I just don’t know why they’d pick this specific item.
They wouldn’t, except for laundering on a scale too small to be worth going after.
Does that make it better?
did i imply it does?
